THE VICTORIA ROOF.
The (Inrilen In the Air Opens to the
Public.
William Hammcrsteln Is 111 at home and
was not on tho roof of tho Victoria Theatre,
which lost night opened Its elevators to
bring up that part of tho New York
public which loves to mount skyward In
tho summer. Tho roof was familiar In
that It still possessed Its farm on the clc
vul on at the back, but It was the oppor
tunity to dance under tho stars that made
the resort novel.
There was the customary lively stage
programme, nnd the audience found the
succeeding nets especially well suited to
such an auditorium. The man who had
saved 137 lives (sen programmo). by
hams John F. Conroy, who was accom
panied by a troupe of women divers; tho
Ahearn bicycle, company, an open air
pantomime called "Adam nnd Eve" and
the organization of negro singers and
actors culled "Tho Darktown Follies," all
of them well suited to an entertainment In
tho more or less open air, wro features.
It took tho genius of Mr. HammetHteln
to suggest this grand series of moral and
Instructive pantomimes' as the attraction
on n roof garden programme He began
with the representation of the story of
Adam nnd Kve and will doubtless carry
this noblo artistic purpose to Its end by
following up with the other Imixirtant
events of history. Such a course will
make his roof garden not only the abode
of art nnd beauty but of culture and
knowledge as well. The first effort In
this direction took place last night, and
tho audience showed undoubted Interest
In tho proceedings. Ho Mr. Hammer
stein's series of pantomimes promises to
be successful.
The sceno yesterday showed the Oar-
den of Kden according to the late ltroad-
way and l'Orty-scconrt street standards of
nrt. A moro or less stout Kve supplied
with flowing hair that served the useful
imrpotie left Incomplete by n sketchy
bunch of llg leaves succumbed to the
charms of an abdominal Adam, who sud
denly appeared In her garden. Them wits
a snake and the rest of the historical In
cidents. It was probably purely acci
dental that the whole sceno boro a strlk
Ing resemblance to "The First Affair"
of Winter Unrden memory.
-me waixtown Follies" was seen last
winter at an uptown theatre, nnd. In com-
pressed form, the production was brought
down to the Victoria for the summer. It
Is chiefly tho vivacity of tho performers
that recommends them to n different public
irom inai oororo wnicn they won their
success last winter. It Is not only the
work of tho stage manager which bus
accomplished this result: the enthusiasm
and exuberance of the actors In tho lead
ing roles as well as In the chorus aro the
real causes or the unusual spirit and ani
mation of this episode. The summer cur.
den has never opened with a better programme.

The next we may hear from Sherlock
Holmes he'll bo In New Tork In rooms
with Dr. Watson somewhere about Wash
ington Square and smiling wearily over
the blunders of our Central Olllce men
as ho lays down his fiddle and reaches
for the needle.
Sir Arthur Connn Doyle, packing up
last night to leave this city, didn't
actually go so far as to say that he
was going to bring Sherlock over
and turn him loose In an American
atmosphere, but there was a palpable
hint of It. Sir Connn has discovered that
New York presents some new and re
markable opportunities for the fiction
writer, and a good part of bis stay here
has been spent In absorbing tho sort
of local color that goes with his work.
Kvery once In a while an Englishman
stays more than twenty-four hours here
nnd goes away with kind words for our
city. Eery once In a while a Briton,
after deep thought, fancies that New York
can bo mentioned In the same breath
with I-omlon. Sir Conan Is one of these.
He sntd to u reporter for Tm: Sun at
tho Hotel I'laza last night:
"I glvo you my, word, old chap, I've
never had a better time In my life. I've
made scores of friends, nnd It seemed as
If your entire city was determined to
to show mo about to see that I over
looked nothing. I've enjoyed every hour
of my visit. I regret slr.ceroly that Lady
Doylo and I must leave. Last night at
your Coney Island they shot me down
tho chutes, bumped me over amazing
places, dazzled my eyes with extraor
dinary spectacles and regaled me with
curious drinks. What a place!"
Sir Conan and Lady Doyle leave over
tho New York Central this morning at
s o'clock for Lake George, where
they Iwll stay for a day or so
recuperating from the strain of sight
seeing In New York and In visiting places
of historic Interest. They will then go
to Montreal and visit nround among the
maritime provinces for a few days. The
next stago of their American tour will be
a trip over tho Grand Trunk Ilallroad
to Edmonton, In Alberta. Sir Conan was
asked If he was going after big game.
"I fancy the llles will do all tho big game
hunting." he said. "But I Bhall provide
mself with ointments and nets and such
things."
The Doylcs will havo a look at the
Canadian Hockles and will then return
to Uuebcc, where they will take ship
for England on July 4. Last night they
entertained friends at the Hotel i'laza.
The Sociologist Again la Presented
on thn Films,
Two theatres which never before had a
film on their consciences yesterday fell
before the advance of the conquering
movies. The Cort Theatre exhibited a
sociological film play called "The Es
cape," by Taul Armstrong. The drama
was seen last September at tho Lyric
Theatre and did not Impress tho publlo
at that time as either sociological or In
teresting. But It was mado the' excuse
for it series f pictures preceding the
revelation of the photographs of tho melo
drama N which were a singular substitute
for entertainment.
Tho processes of reproduction In the
lowest forms f animal life were re
vealed with the object of proving that the
utmost care wns taken by nature even
here to attain the perfection of type.
Then the skeletons of frogs nnd sheep
we.ro ndded tho list of microbes nnd
other low to.rp of life that wero thrown
on tho screen. Finally the care taken
In breeding dogs and horses brought the
first part of the entertainment to u oloso.
It was a gay llttlo Introduction to Mr.
Armstrong1 melodrama, which was quite
an drab nnd monotonous In action as It
was In the pictures yesterday. Alt the
scenes of the. play a well as the fattening,
which Is customary on the films, was very
well produced. The comic relief was pro
vlded by some good old manipulation of a
beer bottle. That was better, however,
than the combination of gloom and mi
crobes. Nobody could lnugh at the frisk
ing of the merry little amak over tho
screen or take pleasure In tho revels of
any of the other cellular actors In tho
protoplasmic first part. Nor was It en
tertaining to see a boy, even In the sacred
cauae of eugenics, wring n cat'o neck.
Tho Strand Theatre had that historic
American play "Hearts of Oak" for Its
attrnotlon. Itnlph Stuart, who has often
played tho leading role in this drama of
Jntnes Hearne's, wns there on the screen
yesterday. The music of the Strand Thea
tre ntwnys helps to entertain Its imtrons,
vho oeem to like also the theatre's policy
of changing It play every week,

The Knickerbocker Thentre..whlch here
tofore hnd housed only drama nnd musi

"movies" last night, following tho ex
ample of many other Broadway theatres.
Its offering In photo-drama was unusually
acceptable, a play by D'Annunzlo. tho
Italian poet, which Is undoubtedly the
nearest competitor In cost of production
and magnitude to "Quo VadisT' which
Is said to be the most pretontlous lllm
play ever shown In this country.
Tho sponsors for the picture play lit
America aro Werba & Luescher, who
havo heretofore devoted their energies
to the production of musical comedy.
Tho American rights are owned nnd con
trolled by the Italian firm which mado
the pictures.
Tho story of the play Is laid In the
Roman Empire In tho third century beforo
Christ. CalMn. a Hve-year-old Sicilian
girl. Is saved from death by her nurse,
when Catania In Sicily, suffers from an
eruption of Mount Etna. Sho Is tnken to

at Carthage to the High Priest. Knrthau.
The High Priest proposes to offer her ns
a human sacrltlce. The girl and her
nurse meet 'nli-fus tiillu nnd his slave,
Mnctstr, who agree to help them escape.

music for the photo.plny. Thero was an
orchestra of sixty pieces nnd n chorus of
forty mixed voices under tho direction of
Belli Hlmonson.
The pictures were taken In Italy, Sicily,
Switzerland, Africa nnd Spain, and are
said to havn cost over IS00.000. Two
years were required for their malting, and
over 5,000 persons were employed.
There were a number of prominent per

There's only one
scientific way
to build a light
"Six" and that's
the Studebaker
way the man
ufactured way.
Studebaker, literally, gets
lightness with doubled or
trebled strength by heat
treating the steels.
The other way the danger
ous and weakening way
is to assemble parts not
heat treated, and get light
ness by reducing size.
Or, sometimes, a so-called light
"Six" is simply n "Six"
slightly smaller than n large
"Six" n;id practically as
heavy.
The Studebaker SIX, moreover,
is perfectly aligned, perfectly
lubricated, perfectly balanced.
Thus friction and vibration are re
duced and long life promoted.
The owner of the Studebaker Sight
SIX, therefore, gets greater
value than can be given with
smaller production, in which
any lowering of price neces
sarily means a lowering of
quqlity.

The Financial Section
of-
Saturday, May 30th, published 40 separate articles or dispatches on
the varying phases of the financial outlook. They ranged in length
from a quarter of a column to a full column, but the majority were
short, concise, pithy, and interesting reviews of the situation, from the
various markets, home and foreign, whose movement, is of interest to
American finance.
The dispatches published on Saturday from outside points came from London,
Paris, Vienna, Amsterdam, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, St. Louis, New Orleans,
Memphis, Topeka, Kansas City; Providence, R. I.; Austin and Fort Worth, Texas.
They discussed the American financial situation as a whole; our trade reaction and its
probable causes ; our gold exports and their probable duration ; the state of Europe's
markets and their feeling about our own ; the wheat crop outlook, the coming cotton
crop estimate, the Federal Reserve Bank plans, and the outlook for the steel trade and
for general business.
The Financial Section is published with each Saturday's issue of The New York
Evening Post. No other publication in the world gives so complete, varied, and com
prehensive a view of the financial and business situation of the hour, set forth by trained
observers, with full knowledge of the inside influences at work, and with a touch of
human interest as well as economic knowledge.
To the investor, the business man, and the average citizen who wishes to under
stand the conditions of the moment, the Financial Section gives a grasp of the situation
obtainable nowhere else.
To the financial advertiser, it gives an opportunity for reaching business men,
investors, and financiers, home and foreign, such as no other publication can offer.
